You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Their interactions are the best. They really help each other with serious issues. I also love how they can just chill too.

✔️digs holes then peeps out of them

✔️long leggies
✔️does very silly running on said leggies
10/10 no owly notes HIGHLY recommended

yikes, my "require alt text before posting" setting had been turned off too! check on yours if you haven't lately. it's under Settings / Accessibility.

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Tumblr post from every-lemon Sep 8 so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff. they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed. I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

Follow up tumblr post every-lemon Sep 9 it was a smash hit. a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud. he was home by 6:30am.

Male and Female royal figures stand back-to-back. The male figure holds out a sword, while the female character wields a bow.

No Doubt In Us is a romance series where the Empress and Emperor swap bodies. They learn so much about the challenges of each other's roles.

I would have loved another season, to find out more about how their experiences shaped them. Xiao Jinyun and Xu Yu truly have Power Couple energy. #animation
